When I was reading through all the literature several months ago most of it said that the baby would move but not to expect it every day and not to be worried if I didn't feel anything for several days at a time. However, not a day goes by that I don't feel the little rascal flexing, kicking, rolling, and I swear there have been some form of gymnastics going on in there every now and again. I'm at 27 weeks and I can already see the skin of my stomach move when the baby pushes against it, my husband can feel the baby move when he places his hand on my tummy, and if I'm snuggled up behind him he can even feel the baby kicking his back!
How active were/are your babies before birth? Does this indiacte that we're going to have a wild child on our hands or might the baby mellow out? Should I be worried about positioning yet and whether the baby is going to end up tangeled in the cord?
As far as I know (and have experienced!), baby movements should be a regular thing. In the beginning of the time you can actually feel the movements, they may be few and far between. But as you progress, they will become very frequent and you should keep track of the movement. Most OB's recommend keeping "kick counts" to ensure the baby is moving and healthy. When you fall below a certain number, they usually want to check you and the baby out to make sure everything is okay.
Things get REALLY interesting toward the end of the third trimester, when space is at a premium. I remember spooning in bed some mornings with my husband at around 8 months. My daughter didn't like the pressure on my belly, so she would kick him in the back. He would make a movement toward her and she'd retaliate. It was the funniest thing!
My son didn't move very much. It was a big deal when he started flipping around. My daughter however, drove me nuts. She moved so much that I panicked when she didn't move for a couple of hours and ran to labor and delivery for an ultrasound. :)
I'm 24 weeks pregnant and my baby does the same thing! She pokes, kicks, swirls, does jumping jacks and cartwheels. I'm pretty sure it's normal. I'm just waiting for the end when there's no room and she starts doing it. I'm going to have bruised ribs or something!
My last baby crowded my diaphragm toward the end. Just talking on the phone made me winded!
I know that my daughter was moving around a bit, but I don't think she got that wild in the womb. However, it's a totally different situation now. She's going to be four and she's a handful.
I'm 22 weeks pregnant now and my little boy moves around so much. He's been doing so for several weeks now. My boyfriend still can't feel the movements, but I sure can! Whenever I'm sitting down to relax he starts kicking at me. On occasion I can feel it when I'm standing up too. He hasn't been doing any of the crazy flipping around or anything. I kinda wish he would just because he's breech.

After Tim Ahearn hurt his knee, he had to give up running and weightlifting, which is how he hurt his knee.
Maybe he would try biking. Maybe he would sign up for a race. The Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb looked intriguing, a 7.6-mile race up the Northeast's highest peak (6,288 feet). So he signed up for it. And trained as best he could, given the fact that he didn't know a lot about cycling or training for mountain races.
Three years ago, Ahearn, 38, of Woodstock went to Mt. Washington in August. He finished third, an unknown amongst some of the top competitors in the sport gathered there.
"I didn't know anything about it," Ahearn said last week. "You learn later that it's this cult race, very prestigious. All these big names in cycling have done it and won it."
His wife, Dr. Aimee Eggleston, who is an equine veterinarian in Woodstock, went to watch her husband that year.
"It was funny, as a spectator," she said. "They have their checkpoints and they're announcing. You could hear a couple big names, first and second, and they're like, 'Third is…' There was a long pause, 'Number …' and you could kind of hear the rustling, like they're flipping through, going, 'Who is this?' 'Tim Ahearn.' I was like, 'Oh!' I was jumping up and down."
Now they know who he is. Ahearn, who played basketball and ran track in high school in Maryland but had never been a cyclist until 2010, finished third again in 2011. He was 10th last year due to illness, injury and some really fast competition and he is training again for the Aug. 17 Hillclimb.
Saturday, he warmed up with another race up Mt. Washington called Newton's Revenge. Ahearn finished third in 59 minutes, 6 seconds, less than a minute behind winner Dereck Treadwell.
The two races are known as the toughest hillclimbs in the world due to the average grade of the auto road, which is 12 percent. The Revenge was born due to the popularity of the Hillclimb, which attracts Olympians, mountain bikers, triathletes and top cyclists. Only 635 competitors are accepted into a race. Former East Lyme resident Tom Danielson, who was the top American finisher in the 2011 Tour de France, set the Hillclimb record (49:24) in 2002.
Ahearn didn't know any of this when he set out to race it the first time.
"I had no idea what I was doing," he said. "I had no idea how to train. I had this vague idea that other people rode their bikes too. I went out every day, plotted out some sort of route and did it and went home and did it again the next day. When I did well at Mt. Washington, the next day, someone called me and said, 'Do you want to go riding?' I said, 'Sure.'
"Before that, it was a solitary thing. Mt. Washington connected me with a whole bike community. It's been really gratifying."
Last year, Ahearn was the top finisher in the BUMPS (Bike Up Mountain Point Series) series, which encompasses a series of mountain races. This year, he has already won the Wachusett Mountain Hill Climb on May 11, a 3.7-mile trek up 1,162-foot Wachusett Mountain in Princeton, Mass.
He went to Wachusett Wednesday to train and rode up the mountain four times at almost maximum pace. He rides two hours a day during the week, 4-5 hours on weekend days. He manages his wife's veterinary business; the couple also has a young daughter.
Aidan Charles of New Haven, a Category 1 cyclist who is the captain of the Aetna Cycling Team based in Middletown, invited Ahearn to be on the team last winter.
"It's impressive for him to compete against the guys he has," said Charles, an endurance athlete coach who now coaches Ahearn. "To place [at Mt. Washington] is very unusual.
"He has raw power. A big engine. He's not a great sprinter but he keeps a steady pace. He'd be a monster 10K-half marathoner if he was a runner."
Because his sights are set on the Hillclimb in August, Ahearn trained hard this week, through Saturday's race on Mt. Washington. It didn't help Saturday that the winds were gusting between 45-60 mph and there was rain and fog at the top with zero visibility and temperatures in the 50s. Treadwell, the 2011 winner who was an Olympic Trials finalist in the 1,500 meters and a former All-American runner at the University of Maine, won again in 58:14 Saturday.
"Wasn't the best performance for me but that's something to gun for in August!" Ahearn wrote in a text message Saturday.

While Cherubi might not be the best Chlorophyll sweeper in Little Cup, it has a niche that only it can claim: the combination of better overall bulk, Chlorophyll, Growth, and Weather Ball. The fact that it has a impressive base 62 Special Attack makes sweeping seem even easier. However, Cherubi is widely outclassed by many other Chlorophyll sweepers, such as Bellsprout and Petilil. It also lacks important Grass-type moves including Sleep Powder. Still, with the ability to outspeed plenty of foes under the sun, boost quickly, and cover a wide range of threats, Cherubi can become a dangerous sweeper that will be hard to stop.
Under the sun, Cherubi can be a excellent special sweeper when given the chance. Once it sets up a single Growth, Cherubi is able to OHKO or 2HKO most Pokemon except Cloud Nine Lickitung and Munchlax. It also has better Special Defense than Bellsprout, which gives it massive competition as a Chlorophyll sweeper. Cherubi's pure Grass typing gives it certain advantages, such as a resistance to Ground-type attacks and neutrality to Psychic-type attacks, giving it more opportunities to set up. SolarBeam is Cherubi's primary sweeping attack due to STAB and high Base Power. Giga Drain provides valuable recovery, and also deters Hippopotas from switching in. Weather Ball is a useful move to have as it can hit a lot of Pokemon which are neutral to Normal-type moves, and can sometimes take advantage of Snover's and Hippopotas's weather-inducing presence in the metagame. Hidden Power Rock helps damage Fire-type Pokemon that would otherwise completely wall Cherubi, and also hits Snover where Weather Ball would fail to cause serious harm.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Cherubi can run a SubSeed, Synthesis, Aromatherapy, and possibly a mixed attacking Growth set, though such sets will usually perform poorer than the standard set. Healing Wish over Hidden Power can be used to restore a fellow teammate's HP and status, but Cherubi is better off attacking to the last of its breath. Aside from that, Cherubi doesn't have the ability to pull off other sets as it would be outclassed by other Pokemon.
Checks and Counters
Due to Cherubi's access to Growth and great coverage, it is actually somewhat hard to truly counter. However, it has various checks. Lickitung and Swablu both have Cloud Nine, and as such, can check Cherubi by eliminating the effects of weather. Snover and Hippopotas can give Cherubi trouble by getting rid of sun, though they will be affected by Hidden Power Rock and Giga Drain, respectively. Faster Chlorophyll users and Pokemon that run a Choice Scarf, such as Bellsprout and Houndour, can also be good checks to Cherubi. Priority moves such as Ice Shard, Sucker Punch, and Mach Punch can be trouble for Cherubi as they will hit Cherubi before it can make a move and can easily 2HKO it, preventing Cherubi from setting up.

Case Number # 2544
Earthjustice, Communities for a Better Environment, and the Sierra Club have filed a lawsuit challenging the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and the Association of Bay Area Governments' most recent regional transportation plan in Alameda County Superior Court.
Plan Bay Area is supposed to serve as a multi-decade regional plan to improve the reliability, accessibility, and affordability of public transportation in the Bay Area and reduce greenhouse gas emissions while overseeing smart growth to meet the demands of the area's growing population.
The Plan falls short of these goals. The Plan does not spend enough on public transportation, and instead invests in building new highways. The current Plan will result in more time on the roads and increased greenhouse gas emissions. The Plan also fails to protect West Oakland and other vulnerable communities from the health effects of cars, trucks, ships and rail that pass through their communities. The Plan will also displace low-income and residents of color from their communities.
The lawsuit challenges the environmental review of the agencies' Plan Bay Area under the California Environmental Quality Act.
The legal challenge cites the following problems with Plan Bay Area:

Angel's Envy—A Bourbon Finished in Port Casks
Jack Bettridge
Posted: December 7, 2012
(continued from page 1)
While Henderson oversees aging of the whiskey, he currently does not distill the new-make spirit. That is done at an undisclosed distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, a town often referred to as the capital of Bourbon. He does, however, set the standards by which the spirit is made. He has kept the same mashbill that he used for Woodford Reserve and Old Forester: 72 percent corn, 18 percent rye and 10 percent barley.
Maturation is performed in Indiana, but the source of the new barrels used in the process is another a throwback to his earlier career; they come from Brown-Forman's Bluegrass Cooperage, which he feels offers the best uniformity from barrel to barrel. Barrel consistency, he says, is especially important for small-batch producers as they don't have as many casks with which to achieve blend consistency.
Eventually, Angel's Envy will be distilled in Louisville Distilling's own facility on Louisville's Main Street, a thoroughfare once called Whiskey Row because of the number of whiskey-makers located there. Recently, Michter's announced it would open its own distillery and visitors' center there, and the city has renamed a section of the street Bourbon Row. The road also contains the Louisville Slugger factory and a Triple-A baseball stadium and so is becoming a tourist attraction of its own. Henderson sees the development of a sort of "Urban Bourbon Trail," which will rival the rural Bourbon Trail, which stops at many of the largest distilleries in the state, but is more far flung. He envisions the new facility having a 55-foot-tall column, which travelers will see as they cross the Ohio River on their way from Indiana. "It's a very exciting time for us."
Angel's Envy (86.6 proof or 43.3 percent alcohol by volume, about $44.99)
APPEARANCE: Light yellow, almost Champagne pink, medium-speed, thick legs
NOSE: Beguiling on the nose with a tantalizing mix of red berries and floral notes with vanilla, caramel, maple and topped with a slight, spicy cinnamon scent.
PALATE: Similarly sultry in the mouth as the red berries go to work on the palate, but then the whiskey relinquishes caramel and toffee notes with maple sugar candy, licorice spices and, finally, black tea.
FINISH: The end is long, but with no sting at all—just nuts, fruits and vanilla. Perhaps a quarter of an hour later it delivers a taste of tangerine
CIGAR PAIRING: La Unica No. 100 ($6.84, 8 1/2 inch by 52 ring gauge Double Corona) A well-balanced cigar with an earthy character. It has such sweet spice flavors as nutmeg and a pleasant and nutty component. The cigar and the whiskey balance out perfectly in body, while the flavors offer agreeable contrasts. The La Unica's nutty and spice content complements the fruit of the Bourbon, drawing out the licorice notes from Angel's Envy. The cigar tastes sweeter in the deal. Both gain extra depth.
Partagas 1845 Robusto ($7.70, 88 points, April 17, 2012 issue of Cigar Insider) This dark, rustic-looking cigar is finished with a bumpy head and sandy wrapper. Primarily earthy in character, each puff also carries black pepper and woody flavors. The Partagas with its coy flavors makes the Angel's Envy seem downright heavy duty, and surprisingly the lack of balance is a plus. All the notes of the Bourbon come to the forefront and slowly the cigar begins to harmonize with it, building its own style of savoriness and kicking out toasty, nutty depth.

Woolly Wormhead
I'm a Hat designer/maker. To me, Hats offer masses of creative potential - the possibilities in shape, form and texture are endless! My background is in industrial, sculptural and fine art Textiles, and these influences can be seen in my work. Having always been a lover of Hats and a life-long knitter, I enjoy bringing these different aspects together.
I'm constantly fascinated with unusual construction techniques, developing stitch combinations and techniques to achieve a unique, versatile piece. Each pattern is then carefully developed to ensure it is accessible to crafters of all abilities. I make every effort to make my patterns as clear as possible, include notes for alterations and design options, and always include a range of sizes. Every effort is made to ensure my patterns are to a high standard, by having each one independently tech edited and test knitted.
If you need some help & advice, then try the Ravelry group Wormhead's Hats for tech support and help. I live in a bus with my partner and our son (Aran!), travelling mainland Europe, and don't always have regular internet access.

Leadership Concentration | Individualized Concentration | Courses
A total of 120 credit hours are needed to complete the bachelor's degree and students must fulfill university curriculum requirements. At least half of the required concentration courses must be taken at Arcadia University. Your degree program plan will define individual requirements based upon the transfer evaluation and granting of transfer credits. The following lists all the degree requirements for a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies:
1. Liberal Studies Core Courses (12 credits)
2. Concentration courses (27-36 credits) distributed over 100-300 level courses
3. Undergraduate university curriculum requirements as defined by transfer status. The requirements for transfer students depend upon the number of credits transferred. All students must complete English 101 if they do not have an equivalent course with a "B" or better. In addition, all transfer students must complete the Global Connections Experience and Reflection as well as the Senior Capstone Project. Any remaining curricular requirements are based on the number of credits accepted.
4. Additional electives as needed to fulfill credit hours required to complete the degree
The concentration in Leadership offers the opportunity to study the theories and the practical skills underlying successful leadership.
Required 100 level (9 credits) (view course descriptions)
Required 200 level (9 credits)
Required 300 level (9 credits)
Leadership concentration courses are offered in accelerated 7 week classes either fully online or blended meeting one night a week 6:00-9:30 at King of Prussia campus.
Individualized Concentrations include social sciences (including Sociology, Anthropology, Communications and Political Science), applied social sciences (including Business, Health Administration, Sociology, Anthropology and Communications), and humanities (including History, English, and Theater, Communications and Art and Design). Courses are distributed over the 100, 200 and 300 levels and across at least two disciplines. Courses are offered on Glenside campus day/evening.
200 Introduction to Liberal Studies (3 credits; Fall; 7-week online) This course introduces students to perspectives on and methods for understanding disciplines in the humanities and the social sciences, exploring the ways in which thinking and writing in different disciplines complement each other and provide a basis for understanding the nature of being human. Students discover the nature of learning as an open-ended process through readings, collaborative discussions, oral presentations, and written assignments. This course begins and ends with two questions: What does it mean to acquire a liberal arts education? And what is the relationship between a liberal arts education and an understanding of what it means to be human? To this end, the readings selected and the writing assignments included do not provide definitive answers to these questions but provide a forum for students to begin exploration.
330 Evaluating Research (3 credits; Fall; 7- week online) This course examines the methodologies available for collecting information in the social sciences, such as experiments, survey research, field research, unobtrusive research and evaluative research and how these methodologies can help answer questions about society. Students learn to critically analyze published research findings through a series of structured exercises, culminating in a portfolio of written reflections. Recommended semester prior to LB490
385 Social Theory (3 credits;alternate years Spring/ Fall; 7-week online) This survey of the contributions of major classical, modern and post-modern theorists, presented within their social and historic context considers the works of Marx, Weber, Durkheim, Freud, Parsons, Mead and Goffman, Habermas, Bourdieu as well as Appadurai, Butler, Hooks, Foucault, Baudrillard and Haraway and other theorists. Reviews critiques and elaborations of the theories and assesses their influences on contemporary thought in the social sciences and humanities.
490 Liberal Studies Capstone: Conversations on Being Human ( 3 credits; Spring; 7-week online) As the Capstone course for the Liberal Studies program, this course charts a number of current conversations on what exactly makes us human. Students are asked to engage with advanced material that links recent findings in the natural and social sciences with those of visual arts, literature, economics and philosophy. The main objective of the course is for students to integrate their own intellectual collegiate experience by confronting fundamental questions about the nature of humanity, and critically thinking about the current answers offered by scientists, scholars and artists. Prerequisite: A GPA of 2.0 or higher in the major and completion of all core Liberal Studies requirements, or with permission of the Department required.
160 Leadership Theories (3 credits; 7 week online and blended) Leadership is one of the most desired traits for employees, yet few people genuinely understand what it is and how to achieve it. This course examines the roots of leadership theory and explores various perspectives in an effort to lead the student to that understanding.
1XX Dynamic Communications (3 credits; 7-week online and blended) Pending Approval Through exercises and observations, students will learn how communication has an energy level. How we speak and how we go about encouraging others to share their thoughts, feelings and beliefs will either inspire others to take action, or will deflate others who will not take action. A main objective of any leader is to influence others toward the achievement of goals and results. Engaging others to take a path toward success is done by creating open and direct dialogue. Learning to listen actively and seeking to fully understand are two other aspects to this highly interactive course. Business writing—the ability to clearly express an idea in writing—will also be addressed.
162 Leader as Coach and Mentor (3 credits; 7-week online and blended) No leader can perform every task by him or herself. The true legacy of a leader is how well they prepare others to accept roles of increasing responsibility in the organization. This course explores the function of leader as coach and mentor. It begins by examining the history of what motivates people in the workplace and how to apply these motivation techniques to the leader's current situation. It then teaches students how to systematically create coaching plans, develop the competencies necessary to be an effective coach and how to deal with the difficult conversations that a coach must occasionally have with those who are being coached.
2XX Strategy Design and Implementation (3 credits; 7-week online and blended) Pending Approval The leader is key in inspiring an organization to develop a mission, vision and values. Students will learn the value of strategic planning; how to conduct a SWOT analysis, and how to set long range objectives. But putting a strategy into action can be more difficult, so we will also study implementing the strategy through short term objectives, action plans, and assigning resources. We will use real world examples of how to implement strategy in complex organizations.
2XX Emotional Intelligence (3 credits; 7-week online and blended) Pending Approval Daniel Goleman writes that our emotions play a much greater role in thought, decision making and individual success than is commonly acknowledged. His theory of Emotional Intelligence describes the ability or skill to identify, assess, manage and control the emotions of self, others and of groups. Traditional types of intelligence, as measured by IQ, fail to fully explain cognitive ability. We will look at the idea of multiple intelligences which includes interpersonal intelligence (the capacity to understand the intentions, motivations and desires of others) and intrapersonal intelligence (the capacity to understand oneself, to appreciate one's feelings, fears and motivations. Class participants will read Daniel Goleman's best seller Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ, and will learn the ability-based model and debate the validity of this concept.
2XX Diversity in Leadership (3 credits; 7-week online and blended) Pending Approval The goal of this course is for students to undergo a paradigm shift in the way that diversity is viewed in today's increasingly global workforce. In order for an organization to capitalize on its employees' potential, both leaders and followers must understand and value the diversity within the organization. In this course, students will develop an increased multicultural awareness through readings and class discussions. Students will incorporate previous knowledge of Emotional Intelligence and other theories, and will explore various leadership frameworks that support diversity leadership.
2XX Building and Sustaining a High Performance Team (3 credits; 7-week online and blended) Pending Approval A key to an organization's success is their leader's ability to assemble a high-performing team with complementary skills and styles; once a team is formed, clear expectations on goals and behavior must be communicated. Leaders must create environments where different styles are respected and collaboration is rewarded. What about the inevitable conflict that will arise? We will learn how to identify and resolve conflict on a team, gaining cooperation from others and strengthening workplace relationships. Group decision-making will also be studied.
3XX Change Management (3 credits; 7-week online and blended) Pending Approval Leaders are described as transformational, not transactional. By that very definition, they must embrace change. We will look at how leaders can initiate and sustain change; how they can lead innovation and create climates which encourage creativity in their organization, how they can create and sustain meaningful change that will position their organizations to thrive.
3XX Leading in a Global Environment (3 credits; 7-week online and blended) Pending Approval Leading in a global environment requires additional competencies. A leader must be aware of and show respect for differences in culture. We will study how leaders can instill this sensitivity and adaptability throughout their organizations. How can they assure that diversity is valued? How should an organization align corporate vision and core values across localities and regions? We will also look at what's involved in managing a global, virtual team located throughout the world.
3XX Ethics in Leadership (3 credits; 7-week online and blended) Pending Approval This course will focus on leaders creating a code of conduct and bringing ethics into the forefront of decision making. Regulatory compliance and following the letter of the law are required to avoid penalties, but is this all that is needed to be considered ethical? Research shows that only 36% of employees believe their leaders act with honesty and integrity. Ken Blanchard has written that leadership is more of what you don't see (character) than what you do see (skills) and that character may be as much as 80% of what is needed to be successful leading others. Students will research high trust leaders and high trust organizations; the will examine current events to determine the financial impact of high or low trust leadership on their organizations.

What Steve Jobs told Barack Obama's campaign managerJune 15, 2012: 7:20 AM ET
The education of Jim Messina, according to Bloomberg Businessweek, started at Apple
FORTUNE -- In the current issue of Bloomberg Businessweek, Joshua Green tells the story of how Jim Messina, Barack Obama's campaign manager, got what Green describes as "the highest-wattage crash course in executive management ever undertaken," starting with Apple's (AAPL) Steve Jobs:
In two long, private conversations, Steve Jobs tore into Messina for all the White House was doing wrong and what it ought to be doing differently, before going on to explain how the campaign could exploit technology in ways that hadn't been possible before.
"Last time you were programming to only a couple of channels," Jobs told him, meaning the Web and e-mail. "This time, you have to program content to a much wider variety of channels -- Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, YouTube, Google --because people are segmented in a very different way than they were four years ago."
When Obama declared for president, the iPhone hadn't been released. Now, Jobs told him, mobile technology had to be central to the campaign's effort.
"He knew exactly where everything was going," Messina says. "He explained viral content and how our stuff could break out, how it had to be interesting and clean."
Jobs, however, plays a tertiary role in Messina's education. The key players, according to Green, are Google's (GOOG) Eric Schmidt, Dreamworks' Steven Spielberg.
As Green tells it, Messina's plan is to match the TV ads funded by the Super PACs backing Romney with a targeted, social media-based get-out-the-vote campaign.
It's a fascinating story. You can read it here.

The Nonmetallic Mineral Product Manufacturing subsector includes establishments that manufacture products, such as bricks, refractories, ceramic products, and glass and glass products, such as plate glass and containers. Also included are cement and concrete products, lime, gypsum and other nonmetallic mineral products including abrasive products, ceramic plumbing fixtures, statuary, cut stone products, and mineral wool. The products are used in a wide range of activities from construction and heavy and light manufacturing to articles for personal use.
Mining, beneficiating, and manufacturing activities often occur in a single location. Separate receipts will be collected for these activities whenever possible. When receipts cannot be broken out between mining and manufacturing, establishments that mine or quarry nonmetallic minerals, beneficiate the nonmetallic minerals and further process the nonmetallic minerals into a more finished manufactured product are classified based on the primary activity of the establishment. A mine that manufactures a small amount of finished products will be classified in Sector 21, Mining. An establishment that mines whose primary output is a more-finished manufactured product will be classified in the Manufacturing Sector.
Excluded from the Nonmetallic Mineral Product Manufacturing subsector are establishments that primarily beneficiate mined nonmetallic minerals. Beneficiation is the process whereby the extracted material is reduced to particles that can be separated into mineral and waste, the former suitable for further processing or direct use. Beneficiation establishments are included in Sector 21, Mining.

The Children of Odinby Padraic Colum Willy Pogany
Before time as we know it began, gods and goddesses lived in the city of Asgard. Odin All Father crossed the Rainbow Bridge to walk among men in Midgard. Thor defended Asgard with his mighty hammer. Mischievous Loki was constantly getting into trouble with the other gods, and dragons and giants walked free. This collection of Norse sagas retold by author Padraic Colum gives us a sense of that magical time when the world was filled with powers and wonders we can hardly imagine.
The Golden Fleeceby Padraic Colum Willy Pogany
A Newbery Honor-winning collection of epic myths that "is unequaled as an introduction to the classic myths for young readers" (Publishers Weekly).Enter a world where harpies torment mortals, the Argonaut Orpheus sings, the mighty god Zeus wages war on the Titans, and Prometheus steals fire. Author Padraic Colum weaves the tales of Jason and his Argonauts with classic Greek mythology to create this captivating epic about life, war, and astounding beings who lived in a time long past. Poetically written and wonderful for reading aloud, this collection of ancient stories will captivate modern readers.

I am no expert at these BB's and don't know where to go to get information on formatting and features of this particular board. So here are some questions/observations. Hopefully some of you more knowledgable folks can chime in. In addition to (hopefully) answering my questions, maybe we can use this thread to inform each other of new features that might not be readily apparent to some of us.
First off... for Chris... you guys do a great job and the BB update looks great, I know you are working on some bugs like the truncation on the right margin. It's nice to have the musical notes back as topic indicators. Looks like red means..."nothing new" while orange means that a new unread entry is there. It's a little hard to distinguish the difference in colors in some light situations.
Some questions:
When I go to the threads under the main topics, some of the activity indicators look like scrolling text while others are not moving. What does this mean?
Some have a red star on them. What does this mean?
On the main Board Index, it looks like some of the main topics (like Helping Hand) have blue text while others are black. Does this mean anything?
I am sure I'll see some other stuff as time goes on, but this is it for now. Thanks

Soft Structured Carriers
Beco Butterfly II Carrier
" This is the prettiest carrier, and fit my shoulders and figure (at 5'6") much better than the Ergo. I got it when my daughter was about nine months, two years ago - it doesn't appear to have changed much since then. Whenever she fell asleep, her head would hang straight back and swing around - zero support! The Ergo sleep hood blows this feature out of the water, and unfortunately it was a..." --capucine
Beco Baby Carrier Gemini
" To anyone looking for a carrier, BECO is the brand! I recently had purchased the Gemini, great carrier! It has everything you will ever need and want, its ergonomic, comfy, organic, made in California, elegant, not bulky, 4 positions, just amazing. Ergonomic: it holds my DD in a ergonomic (Proper) position not like the Bjorn crotch dangler. Comfy: It..." --2jmama
Two Mommas Designs Buckle Tai
" Love this carrier. Super easy to use and my son loves being in it. " --Alesha
Angel Pack LX Organic Soft Structured Baby Carrier (Chocolate Sherbert)
" I bought my angel pack about 4 years ago. The price tag may sound a bit steep but for a product that continue to use and reuse I think it has more then paid for itself. With my first child we purchased a popular brand and model and after about 3-6months we gave it away and only used it maybe 2-3 times. It was bulky, complicated and uncomfortable. The angel pack was a..." --eclipsegrafx

A Bucks County single mom moved her entire family to Philadelphia to help her terminally ill child. And that's when she says someone swiped her only way to safely transport her 2-year-old son, Ronnie.
"It means freedom," Debbie Seals says of the van. "It means going to doctors visits and being able to be with him all day and taking him safely to the park."
Ronnie suffers from Cerebral Palsy, he's blind, deaf and suffers from a host of other ailments.
He's fed through tubes--has to wear a body brace and his oxygen intake is monitored 24/7
"Since birth he's been resuscitated at least 40 times," says his mom.
All the health issues are why Seals, a single mother of four, moved her family to Philly.
She wanted Ronnie to be closer to the care he needs at Children's Hospital.
Problem is Seals says, her family's stay in the City of Brotherly Love hasn't been kind.
She says someone stole her wheelchair accessible van from in front of her Winfield home.
When she got it back there were multiple parking tickets. Bullet holes in the van and $4,000 worth of damage.
A tab she says she can't afford with her liability insurance-- while she continues to care for her terminally ill son.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

Gold prices, now at a three-year low, could continue to get hammered as investors reshape their views of the precious metal.
Forecasts for $1,000 an ounce gold sound much less far-fetched than they did before the metal breached $1,300 on June 20.
"Technically, as these things start to break down, they often overshoot," said Robert Sinche, global strategist for Pierpont Securities. "I just think we have this critical couple of levels coming here around the $1,150 level and if it gets through there, who knows—it could have some pretty significant downside from there," he said.
When gold fell through $1,300 last week, it broke below the 50 percent retracement level from its 2011 high, prompting more selling. Sinche, who does not forecast gold, said that technically, if it breaks $1,150 the charts show a possible path to $1,000.
Gold fell sharply Wednesday as investors continued to sell gold ETFs.
"I think the decline today is a reaction to the big ETF liquidation yesterday," said Jim Steel, chief commodities analyst at HSBC.
The SPDR Gold Shares ETF, the largest physical gold ETF, was down more than 3.5 percent Wednesday, as was iShares Gold Trust ETF IAU. Both were trading at August 2010 lows. The GLD ETF fell $667 million Tuesday, putting its assets under management below $39 billion, according to Index Universe. It started the year at $72 billion.
Steel reduced his forecast for gold this week, as did others, including Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo and Credit Suisse. He now has a target of $1,125 per ounce for this year, and Goldman, at $1,300 for 2013, set $1,050 as a target for next year.
Steel said he turned more negative on gold after the price decline following last week's Fed meeting did not bring out much buying response from China and India, as the May decline did.
"So physical buyers may be stepping back a little and saying, 'Let's wait awhile before rushing in,' " he said.
The Fed signaled last week that it may begin to wind down its $85 billion-a-month bond-buying program, or QE, before the end of the year. Gold has fallen sharply, while Treasury yields and the dollar moved higher. The gold futures contract for August delivery fell $45 to $1,229 an ounce. Silver was also sharply lower, down 4.5 percent.

Kevin Grady, president of Phoenix Futures and Options, said there was a lot of selling out of Shanghai on Tuesday night, possibly a side effect of the China credit crunch. But there was also some physical buying from China and the Middle East.
"There's a strong correlation between gold prices and emerging markets' financial assets," said Steel. "As the Fed came out with its policy statement, and with the slowdown in China, emerging market assets have weakened, and that tends to be a negative for gold prices."
Credit Suisse analysts this week set a gold target of $1,150 over the next 12 months.
"On the technical side, it is clear that after steadily moving higher for 10 years, the upward trend has decisively broken over recent months, shattering the confidence of those who thought gold would continue to chart new highs indefinitely," the analysts wrote.
(Read More: Why the Fed Might Hike Rates Sooner Than You Think)
"The second key reason cited by many to hold gold over the past five years has been the near religious faith among bulls that QE must relatively quickly lead to a substantial increase in inflation, with many fearing hyperinflation. In reality, five years after the Fed commenced its program of quantitative easing—and 12 years after Japan began 'printing money'—global inflation continues to fall, with core US PCE deflator inflation falling to the lowest level seen since the series was first calculated in the 1960s," they said.
The selling in gold also raises questions about the prospects for mining companies.
"We are falling below the top end of marginal costs for production, so there is debate in the market about what the production response is going to be," Steel said, adding that average production costs can be $700 to $900 an ounce. But the marginal costs, exploration and sustainability, push the costs above $1,100 for some.

Credit Suisse equity analysts downgraded Barrick Gold to neutral from outperform Wednesday, cutting their target to $20 from $36. Barrick fell 7 percent and was trading below $15, a near 60 percent decline this year. On Monday, Barrick said it was cutting a third of its Toronto corporate staff. Credit Suisse analysts said Barrick was downgraded for a number of reasons, including gold price uncertainty, debt and potential write-downs.

The following are edited excerpts from the dissenting opinion written by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia in the case involving the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). The court overturned the law last week by a 5-to-4 vote.
The Citizen endorses Justice Scalia's opinion.
This case is about power in several respects. It is about the power of our people to govern themselves, and the power of this Court to pronounce the law. Today's opinion aggrandizes the latter, with the predictable consequence of diminishing the former. Read More»

If we ask the question, "Are there lessons to be learned from history?," the likely answer is, "Yes." On the other hand, if we inquire, "Do we learn from the patterns of history?," the probable answer, regrettably, is, "No."
To illustrate this cognitive dissonance, all we need do is explore the history of the last two major business cycle downturns in America, that beginning in the third quarter of 1981 (National Bureau of Economic Research dating) and the present episode, which the NBER dates as commencing in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Last week the Georgia General Assembly convened on Monday through Thursday for legislative days 14-17 of the 2010 Georgia General Assembly session. There were several important bills considered on the floor of the House; also a number of significant bills are working their way through the legislative committee process.
On Tuesday of last week the House passed H.B. 908 by a strong bipartisan vote. The measure provides local school systems with additional flexibility and freedom from certain state mandates to help in managing the current budget crunch. Read More»

The General Assembly convened this year facing the daunting challenge of closing a billion-dollar budget hole, partly caused by the slumping economy and the consequent decrease in tax revenues.
Few, if any, forecasters or policy-makers foresaw a recession or revenue decline this sharp. Feckless Washington policy-makers have exacerbated the problem by creating an uncertain investment climate for families and entrepreneurs. Read More»
I recently re-read Isaiah's call in Isaiah 6. Usually we stop at verse 8, where, when God asks, "Whom shall I send?" Isaiah volunteers and says, "Here am I. Send me." This time, however, I read further. I read to what Isaiah was called.
Isaiah 6:9: And he said, "Go and say to this people: 'Keep listening, but do not comprehend; keep looking, but do not understand.'
Isaiah 6:10: Make the mind of this people dull, and stop their ears, and shut their eyes, so that they may not look with their eyes, and listen with their ears, and comprehend with their minds, and turn and be healed." Read More»

President Obama could learn a lesson or two from the lyrics of my favorite country music singer, Coweta County native Alan Jackson.
In Jackson's "Here In the Real World," he sings sadly about how life doesn't always turn out how you'd hoped, like it does in the movies.
On the silver screen, the song lyrics state, "Cowboys don't cry and heroes don't die. And good always wins again and again." Read More»

Marcus Iron and Chad Kennedy embark on their journey to preach to the sinners when they come upon the home of Addison Scott, who responds to their missionary message with some nasty talk before pulling them into his world of sin. Down in his dungeon Iron is locked in a wooden stock and forced to watch the hunky Caesar finger his hole in a sling, while Kennedy is taken away and forced to submit to the sexual pleasures of his captor along with Enrico Vega, Spike, Scott Matthews, Nick Young, and Kristian Alvarez. Together the seven men suck and rim into a frenzy until poor Kennedy is impaled by Spike's 10' tool which unleashes his inner demon and he voraciously takes cock in both ends and grunts for more. And he gets it... the studs line up to ram him in a gang bang so hard he won't sit down for a week, and finally baptize him with their hot and holy spunk.

Chief Jonathan Adams of the Heflin Fire Department said firefighters received a call about the wreck just before 9:30 this morning. Adams arrived to find a pickup truck and a car had been in an accident near the intersection of U.S. 78 and Ervin Circle, he said.
Efforts to reach Heflin police for details on the accident were unsuccessful Thursday.
The driver of the car and her passenger, a child, both were injured in the accident. An ambulance drove the child to Regional Medical Center in Anniston while the woman was flown to a hospital for head injuries, Adams said. He was unsure where the woman would be hospitalized.
